It is easy enough to read at speed one or two leger lines but the performer is prone to greater error the further they move away from the five-line stave. As we have already noted, when the musical line goes above or below the five lines of the stave we use leger lines to mark their pitch. Notation in any field should be intuitive, clear and easy to follow. The treble clef marks the G above middle C on the second line from the bottom of the five line stave, the alto clef marks middle C as the centre line on the five line stave, and the bass clef marks the F below middle C as the second line from the top of the five line stave. In lesson 1 we have already described the treble or G3 clef, the bass or F4 clef and the alto or C3 clef.
